In which I was not the evil Overlord, Pt II
mahannie57 returns to finish the first dungeon we started the previous evening, this time with zalena participating in her first Descent session! Whee!
With just two rooms to go before the adventure ended, our Evil Overlord had to up her game if she was to defeat the heroes! Evil Overlord (She) was the term that zalena suggests as a more gender appropriate phrase, and while I agree that a new title was needed, I kind of like Evil Overlady. Anyway, mahannie57 thought up a few new tricks to use against us, especially in regards to luring me into using my interrupt ability early and utilizing spawn groups. I think that she's got the basics of the role down, and I'm going to craft an Overlord(lady) tutorial dungeon to help instruct her with details of card features and Treachery use.
zalena played a tank character as that's one of the easiest classes to learn from, letting her get used to some of the mechanics and number crunching features of the game, and she did pick up combat rather quickly. I could tell that it was hard for her to take any of it seriously, but she stuck with it and said that she would be willing to play again at some point.
I think that this was a success, though I know that my choice of character (with the interrupt ability) was a bit unfair against the new Overlady, but she did learn to anticipate and use my power against me. Major points for the new gal for that one!
I'll post the Overlord/lady tutorial dungeon designs after mahannie57 and I run through it and give it the OK.
